Quality in the Food Analysis Laboratory by R. Wood, H Wallin

"Fit-for-purpose" is a word widely used to all clients of analytical info, who must be guaranteed that info supplied by means of laboratories is either acceptable and of the mandatory caliber. caliber within the nutrition research Laboratory surveys the techniques nutrition research laboratory needs to deliberate to meet such requisites. the necessity to introduce caliber coverage, the various caliber versions which are to be had and the legislative requisites are thought of. particular facets of laboratory perform and specific parts of accreditation that may reason difficulties for analytical laboratories also are mentioned. protecting for the 1st time these parts of direct value to foodstuff research laboratories, this targeted publication will function an reduction to these laboratories while introducing new measures and justifying these selected.

8 Purpose of OECD GLP Principles The OECD GLP principles are documentary in nature. They cover the organisational process and the conditions under which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported. The ultimate aim of the studies is usually submission of the preparation involved for registration by international licensing bodies. A registration can take place many years after the study has been completed. The model is not recommended for routine analytical food laboratories.
